fantastic speakers for Mp3 with a fantastic story.. with a master mind Jinsop Lee behind it.
Henry Dreyfuss was a fellow industrial designer and quite famous in his own right. His most enduring design is a series of wonderful phones used the world over for 50 years. Unfortunately, these phones are made of Bakelite, a material that is so strong that it never biodegrades. Ever. There are landfills filled with mountains of these phones.
Jinsop redesigned the handsets to be used as a stereo speaker system for MP3 players. As an added bonus, the speakers sound brilliant.
“Our goal was to design a product that people would covet not because it was recycled, but rather because it was a decent looking product that worked well, and just happened to use a recycled component.”
The outcome they have managed to get a production company interested but they need 30,000 to fund it. They will be charged at £85 a piece but they are amazing I think they should just raise the money from people who want to buy it and then put it in to production themselves I am game.
